I would *really* appreciate a button to turn chat off. I know there are a few cute solutions to this including permanently disabling. I'm amazed that a game of information will display something as unwanted and alarming as a red circle that grows numerically -- every online game offers a chat button.

Sorry for demanding excellence from an employer. It's caused me trouble in the past but I'm not willing to back down.

The last race drew a 2.85 rating and 4.7 million viewers. The Global sponsored race had a 3.5 rating and 5.9 million viewers. Global sponsored a car, which was plastered with advertising, the team members (20 to 21) all wore Global patches and banners were placed all around the venue.

haven't played on global in about a year. checked the cash game lobby and I've never seen anything so sad used to be 10+ 1/2 tables, 6+ tables of 2/4, at least 3-4 tables of 5/10, obviously 10/20 was a thing...

now it's like 4 tables of 1/2 and a couple tables of 2/4-5/10. losing paypal destroyed this place huh

I mean, even a few months ago the traffic was fine. Don't worry we got NASCAR traffic now xd.

Maybe I'm just a coastal elite but I'm a pretty big sports fan and I've never in my life met someone who follows NASCAR. Site really should just do stuff for the players instead of trying more advertising. Even on the rigged PPP apps I get 25-40% rb.

There are millions of rednecks out there who love watching cars drive around in a big circle for hour after hour. They also skew stupid relative to the population at large, and probably skew poor, although not as much as one might think. Global should get some pro wrassler next.

I'm glad Global had some ads at MLB games (even though I find baseball to be excruciatingly boring).

That wasn't my point. I get that not all people who watch NASCAR have $1100 total in their bank account like you.( Be proud, that's almost a good amount of money for a pizza delivery guy) My point was thousands were exposed to Global who weren't before. But you knew my point and just wanted to troll. Well it didn't work.

NH, GG, GL

I think exposure is the key word here. They targeted a specific sports market to see if it would generate some traffic. For a 2-day race, you are looking at a 4-5 days of festivities around that particular track. So, maybe they were hoping that a certain percentage of people, that made contact with the car, would google Global Poker to check it out. All pro sporting events are made up of a diversified background of economics, but to catch the person with disposable income, willing to deposit and play recreationally is the point. After all, GP, states in it's TOS that playing professionally is a no-no, and that is what keeps this rec friendly. As far as giving back to players...there are three MTTs everynight with a overlay that cost the player $.11, $1 and $5 to participate. They have a $5000 guarantee on Sunday, with entry fee of $.11. Adding rakeback incentives would cater to the pros, which GP is not about, most rec players don't even know what the rake is must less rakeback.

Global could've taken half their Nascar ad budget, placed it directly into the accounts of net depositors, and they would've actually had a noticeable traffic increase. Easier to keep the fish in your net than it is to dunk the net back in to find new fish

Yeah this is what I meant and the type of idea I like a lot. I hope GP reads your post and implements it. I'm totally fine with sites offering no "traditional" RB...I love the RIO splash the pot model.

I don't think buying MLB/NBA ads is a good way to get players either. Also <$6 mtts with overlay like wtf how does that help the ecology at MS and HS cash (or even nl50-100). That is seriously nothing. I don't expect RB or even think it would be good for games...I would be OK with any possible RB I got going into the accounts of net depositors.

While those MTTs you describe sound nice, how about $100++ buyin MTTs with decent gurantees but almost no chance of overlay? It would at least get money onto the site. Right now I don't think players have any reason to deposit on global when WPN has sportsbook/casino/large mtts and Ignition/Bovada has the same+fast fold games.

this is actually #SAD and I'm in PPP clubs with more nl200+400 games running.

I understand it's against GP ToS to play professionally on the site but that doesn't mean they should let traffic die at reasonable stakes.

After all, GP, states in it's TOS that playing professionally is a no-no, and that is what keeps this rec friendly.

I have no idea why people always bring this up as if it's unique to Global's TOS. The fact that term exists isn't what keeps the site rec friendly; it's an industry standard condition.

Look at the terms of Global compared to the most reg friendly site out there:

WPN:

Quote:

Commercial use of the Software or any professional use as part of a business of betting or wagering is strictly forbidden. You are only allowed to play for Your personal entertainment and recreational play.

Global:

Quote:

(c)you participate in the Games strictly in your personal capacity for recreational and entertainment purposes only;

If pros stayed away from sites because of terms like that, there wouldn't be a single site for them to play on.

Or fish cause there would be no tables running..

About 40minutes after I made my last post there were 8 tables of NL200 running just completely out of the blue. I think a lot of those players are bots...though with no data it's impossible to confirm or deny...I guess I don't even mind it that much because it means there's traffic and I'm winning against them.
